The verdict is in and the Garden got hammered. Predictably and stubbornly so, MSG chairman James Dolan will make no changes to Isiah Thomas’s job status. Zeke, who said today he is “innocent…very innocent,” will begin the season as Knicks’ GM and coach, while MSG appeals the jury’s decision. Here’s the low-down via ESPN.com:
A federal jury decided Madison Square Garden and its chairman must pay $11.6 million in damages to former New York Knicks executive Anucha Browne Sanders in her sexual harassment lawsuit.The jury, which decided MSG had committed harassment against Browne Sanders, found that the Garden owes $6 million for allowing a hostile work environment to exist and $2.6 million for retaliation. MSG chairman James Dolan owes $3 million.
The Garden said it would appeal.
A verdict earlier Tuesday found that Knicks coach Isiah Thomas subjected Browne Sanders to unwanted advances and a barrage of verbal insults, but that he did not have to pay punitive damages.
